Hello, my name is Christian Cruz-Ayala, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in both Florida and Massachusetts. With over 11 years of experience in the helping profession, I am deeply committed to supporting individuals on their journey toward healing, growth, and lasting change. My work as a counselor has been both personally and professionally meaningful. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process—one that fosters self-discovery, resilience, and empowerment. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and respected. I earned my degree in Psychology and Sociology from the University of South Florida and later completed my Master’s degree in Counseling at Webster University. Throughout my career, I have worked in a variety of clinical settings, including crisis intervention, inpatient substance abuse treatment, and outpatient services for individuals experiencing opioid addiction. These experiences have allowed me to support clients through some of life’s most challenging moments with compassion and care.

I enjoy helping clients navigate life transitions, emotional challenges, and personal struggles while building the skills and confidence needed to move forward. My goal is to meet each client where they are and walk alongside them toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Hi! I’m a licensed therapist with years of experience helping clients deal with anxiety and depression. I also love to help with relationship issues and self empowerment. I seek to provide a safe space for you to share your concerns and issues and hope we can work together to make your life feel more joyful and under control! Let’s chat!

I’m Shellene Hattersley, LCSW, and for over 13 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping adults and veterans navigate the challenges life often throws their way. Throughout my career, I’ve seen how resilient people are, even when they don’t always feel it themselves. My specialty areas include trauma, depression, anxiety, and life transitions, and my approach is rooted in compassion, understanding, and a belief in your inherent strengths. I truly believe that healing isn’t a one-size-fits-all process, which is why I take the time to tailor our work together to fit your unique needs and goals. Whether you’re working through past trauma, feeling stuck in life’s transitions, or looking to gain clarity and confidence, we’ll go at your pace and build on your existing resilience. In our time together, my goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to make lasting, positive changes. I’m honored to walk alongside you on your journey of healing and growth, and I’m here to help you uncover the strength and clarity needed to move forward in a way that feels right for you.

Hello! I’m Rahjanni, a licensed clinical social worker and proud Army combat veteran dedicated to serving veterans, first responders, and their families. Having lived through the unique challenges faced by these communities, I understand the importance of having a space where you feel truly seen and supported.

I bring a blend of personal understanding and professional expertise to guide you in navigating life’s challenges, empowering you to move forward with resilience and hope.

My name is Noel Hartough and I am a person with a lot of lived experience with anxiety (spiritual and career). Anxiety and the success I had through work I did in therapy led to me becoming a therapist. I grew up around gray area drinking, family squabbles and being the introspective kid at the lunch table. I happen to be a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. I work with adolescents during the day and adults in the evenings. I believe that we are largely the result of our beliefs.

Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) currently based in Florida. I graduated with my masters in Social Work from the University of South Florida. I have experience working with a wide range of individuals, including, Spanish speaking clients, Muslim clients, young adults, teens, and the LGBTQ community. I believe working with a wide range of individuals is imperative to the type of work I want to do.

Life can feel heavy sometimes, and reaching out for support is a brave and powerful first step. I'm here to offer a safe, supportive space where you can explore what’s going on and begin the process of healing and growth. I was drawn to this work because I’ve always been fascinated by how people heal, grow, and rebuild—even after really tough experiences. Over the years, I’ve worked with so many incredible individuals who’ve taught me about strength, vulnerability, and the power of connection. Being a therapist is more than a job to me—it’s something I feel truly honored to do. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are—with compassion, curiosity, and respect. I use a mix of evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), ACT, and DBT to help you work through trauma, manage emotions, and build a more meaningful life. But therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all—together, we’ll figure out what works best for you.

Hi! I'm Katherine, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to providing compassionate, client-centered therapy for adolescents and adults. I believe that everyone has a unique story, and I strive to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, respected, and supported. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-esteem concerns, trauma-related disorders, personality disorders, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by everyday stress, struggling with past experiences, or navigating a significant life change, therapy can provide a space to better understand yourself and develop the tools needed to move forward. I believe therapy should be both supportive and empowering. I view the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative partnership where we work together to explore your experiences, build on your strengths, develop practical coping strategies, and create meaningful, lasting change. Throughout the process, I am committed to honoring your autonomy, cultural background, and lived experiences while tailoring treatment to your individual needs and goals. Seeking support takes courage, and I deeply value the trust it takes to begin therapy. My goal is to help you gain greater self-awareness, strengthen resilience, and build confidence as you create a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. Wherever you are in your journey, I look forward to walking alongside you with compassion, curiosity, and genuine support.

I’m Edward Settles, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Co-founder of Next Door Counseling.

My approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy with person-centered care, honest conversation, and practical strategies that can be applied in everyday life. I believe therapy should feel collaborative and relatable, allowing you to better understand yourself, build on your strengths, and make meaningful, lasting changes.

I'm Porsha Coates, LMHC, and I work with people who are ready to make real changes — not just cope, but actually move forward. My clients include adults, adolescents, couples, veterans, and military families navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I bring together CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, and clinical hypnotherapy — not as a rigid formula, but as a flexible toolkit I adapt to what you actually need. I offer telehealth therapy across Florida, so getting support is straightforward, wherever you are.

I'm Patt Somasri, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion and curiosity. I would like to create a welcoming, affirming space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to grow. Therapy to me is about collaborating, and making personalized plan to match your unique needs. Rather than believing there is one "right" way to heal, you are in control of what "right" is for you. My therapy style is eclectic as I draw from evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), trauma-informed care, and mindfulness-based interventions. I am also trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) for trauma and distressing memories.

I believe that healing begins in a relationship where you feel seen, heard, and accepted without judgment. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of experience, I strive to create a safe, supportive, and collaborative space where you can explore life's challenges with honesty and curiosity. My role is not to tell you who to be or what decisions to make. Instead, I serve as a compassionate guide, helping you better understand yourself, recognize patterns that may no longer serve you, and discover strengths you may not yet see in yourself. I believe that every person has the capacity for growth, healing, and meaningful change. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I understand that our early experiences shape how we view ourselves, connect with others, and respond to life's challenges. Together, we'll explore those experiences with compassion, helping you rewrite unhelpful narratives and build healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and relating. I bring warmth, empathy, curiosity, and gentle honesty to each session, creating an environment where you can be your full, authentic self. While I offer support and validation, I also encourage reflection and meaningful action so that lasting change can take place. Whether you're navigating a major life transition, healing from past wounds, strengthening relationships, or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I am committed to walking alongside you every step of the way. My goal is to help you cultivate resilience, self-compassion, and confidence so you can create a life that feels aligned with your values and authentic sense of self. I believe therapy is not about fixing what is "wrong" with you—it's about uncovering your strengths, fostering emotional healing, and empowering you to move forward with greater clarity, purpose, and peace.

I'm sure you've been scrolling through therapist profiles wondering who's actually the right fit. If you've made it here, welcome. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, grief, recovery, life transitions, blended family challenges, and self-esteem. I believe therapy should feel like a conversation—not an interrogation. Together, we'll create a space where you can feel understood, challenged when needed, and supported as you move toward meaningful change.

I am Mayren Fraguela-Lam, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Addiction Professional with more than 10 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate mental health, behavioral, and addiction challenges.

Are you having difficulty finding your place in a world that feels increasingly alienating? Do you find yourself feeling unseen or misunderstood by the people around you? Do you have difficulty maintaining friendships or often feel hurt or used in romantic relationships? Have you ever felt like you're trying so hard to have the life you thought you'd be living by now, but it seems like you can never quite get it right? Hi, I’m Nikki! I’m a neurodivergent-affirming therapist licensed in South Carolina and Florida. I specialize in supporting individuals who feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck—especially those navigating ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, and identity exploration. My goal is to help you better understand yourself—how your mind works, how your emotions show up, and how your past experiences shape your present—so you can move through life in a way that actually fits you, not just what’s expected of you. The term "neurodivergent" is an annoying buzzword to some, but for me and many of my clients, it is both our superpower and one of our biggest challenges in life. In my therapeutic practice, I take into account how neurodiversity (and its intersectionality with race, culture, age, gender, sexuality, spirituality, and other systems) impacts my clients lives and help them navigate accordingly.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in sunny Florida, I bring years of experience supporting adults through life transitions, mental health challenges, and periods of emotional overwhelm.

I am deeply committed in helping individuals reclaim their lives, overcome life difficulties, and discover their fullest potential.

I employ techniques that encourage you to identify patterns of behavior and observe how you relate to yourself and others.

Are you tired of a robotic, dull, and systematic therapist? Or maybe this is your first time seeing a therapist? Hi, I’m Mark Bayard, a Licensed Mental Health Therapist with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges. I believe therapy should feel like a safe, supportive space where you can show up as your authentic self without fear of judgment. I work with people who may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns of overthinking, or navigating difficult transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy for support with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, burnout, identity exploration, or substance use challenges. My goal is to walk alongside you as we make sense of what you’re experiencing and help you move toward a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and aligned with who you are.

You have already taken the first step in your journey by exploring the possibility of professional guidance. By the Sea Therapy can partner with you to find the solution that you’ve been seeking. We view the beginning of therapy as a tabula rasa; a blank page where together, we write a new chapter in your life. The past may be read and understood while the future is yet to be written. We look to establish a partnership with you which will open the door to self-empowerment and fulfillment. Today, take the next step in your journey and call to start the healing process.

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in ADHD, depression, bipolar disorder, anger and emotion dysregulation difficulties, communication skill development, the development of coping skills to help with adjusting to life stressors, and psychological testing.

Hello, my name is Tara Griffith. Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and therapist in the state of Florida. I am a firm believer that you are who you are because of where you have come from. I enjoy working with others who due to adverse childhood experiences and certain traumas throughout life, are ready to work through these experiences. We become the best versions of ourselves by working through our struggles in order to then face everyday challenges as they come up.

With over 20 years of experience, I use trauma informed, evidence-based therapies designed for the unique challenges veterans and first responders face. Together, we will work to understand your triggers, calm your nervous system, and rebuild the connections that matter most. We will identify the patterns that keep you stuck and develop practical strategies that help you feel steady, grounded, and in control again.

As a Licensed Therapist, I am committed to maintaining the highest ethical and professional standards and contributing to advancing the social work profession. With over 25 years of experience in social work, I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) fluent in two languages/cultures. I have provided counseling and therapy to individuals, couples, families, and groups using evidence-based and culturally sensitive approaches. I also offer online telehealth services.

I help teens and women heal from complex childhood trauma, neglect, and abuse—especially when those experiences show up as people-pleasing, identity loss, painful relationships, intense emotions, or a complicated relationship with food and their bodies. I became a therapist because this work genuinely matters to me. Over the past nine years, I have seen how trauma can remain hidden beneath perfectionism, overachievement, unhealthy relationships, disordered eating, and the feeling that you have no idea who you are because you spent so long surviving. I also understand that trauma symptoms are frequently misunderstood, treated only at the surface, or confused with features associated with diagnoses such as Borderline Personality Disorder or Bipolar Disorder. I take time to understand the whole person—not just the label. I am warm, down-to-earth, and honest. I balance validation with respectfully challenging the beliefs and behaviors that keep you stuck. I have ADHD, two tiny chihuahua coworkers named Bryn and Blair, and licenses to provide therapy in Florida, Illinois, Texas, and Colorado. I am proudly a girls’ girl, and my practice is mainly focused on the mental health and relational experiences of teens and women.

After a career in the corporate world, I "reinvented" by going back to school to obtain a masters degree in counseling. I have worked at the VA, FL civil commitment prison, a psychiatric hospital and for the last five years counsel for a local hospital system serving a diverse population. Married, 5 kids, (3 adopted), cats and dogs, successes and failures in both business and personal life. I continue to learn how to navigate life's challenges and find meaning and purpose helping others. I practice CBT, ACT, and mindfulness, but believe the client's language should drive their journey. Being heard and understood is a partnership. Cultivating peace inside us allows us to see things as they really are. I pledge to always do my best for you.

Hi and Welcome! I specialize in working with young adults, adolescents, and children to address mental health concerns and improve their quality of life. My clients have come to me for a variety of reasons. These include: Seeking guidance, addressing unhelpful thinking patterns & behaviors, goal-setting, improving level of emotional regulation & self-care, increasing self-awareness & self-compassion, treating mental health symptoms related to anxiety & depression or simply craving a safe space. There are no concerns too small to begin your therapeutic journey! I believe that everyone can achieve and is deserving of a happy and fulfilling life. I take a collaborative and well-rounded approach to guide those in achieving their therapeutic goals. Together we will work towards what is most relevant to you or your child for your or their presenting concerns. By using my clinical skill set, creativity and emphasis on the therapeutic relationship I have been able to make a positive impact with my clients!

I provide goal-directed, collaborative therapy focused on embracing change as both constant and certain. I am trained and skilled in Solution-Focused Therapy, a goal-oriented and collaborative approach that helps individuals identify and build on their strengths to create positive changes in their lives. This method emphasizes finding practical solutions and fostering resilience, empowering individuals to navigate challenges effectively. I believe that individuals are the experts of their own experiences and possess the inner strengths and resources to overcome barriers to wellness and happiness. While I guide and support individuals in building skills to manage challenges, set realistic goals, and boost personal resilience, the responsibility for meaningful change rests with you. Taking the first step to find a therapist is a remarkable act of courage and an important investment in your well-being. I work with individuals from diverse backgrounds via telehealth, focusing on concerns such as anxiety, chronic stress, fear, shame, perfectionism, and self-critical patterns. I typically check messages after 6:00 p.m. (EST) weekdays and will respond as promptly as I can. Feel free to review my calendar for available sessions. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey.

I am an LMHC therapist, public speaker, community organizer, social and environmental activist, and have been listening for decades. My Master of Clinical Psychotherapy, 2013 came from the University of North Florida. I experienced a Clinical Pastoral Education, in deep listening. I worked in the Talk program at Wounded the warriors talked; I listened. Trauma Supportive Therapy is used to safely address, as slowly as need be, the pain of the past that keeps coming to trip your defenses in the present at all the wrong moments. I can be that supporting presence who will help sort it out by listening, sincerely hearing you, reflecting the depth of your feelings back to you. I practice the therapy of defining personal meaning, so, together we will think about your options, planning, purpose, and goals for living a meaningful life without being afraid of tripping over your past or yourself. I practice person centered therapy by meeting you where you are. I strive to be culturally sensitive, non-prejudicial and use strength-based therapy as a jump point, truly believing I am the guide for you, but you are the treasures and wisdom keeper. Of all the reasons people come to therapy: anger, guilt, anxiety, changes, transitions, depression, trauma, jealousy, and “it is just not working anymore”, the extra burden of race and racism is more than just a nuance to be nodded at in therapy. I will view race as central to all the other pieces, when it is central to you. I am inclusive, secular, competent, affirming, and non-judgmental. I have worked with people in transition, people who are very much defined, “but things got complicated”, people in the communities of LGBTQA, Polyamory, Kink, non-gendered. Each are safe and welcome here.

Let’s begin today and take this journey together as you explore who you are and what you need to feel whole. My approach to therapy is collaborative, supportive, and client-centered. We will work as a team to build on your strengths, develop effective coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change. This is a safe space for growth, insight, and transformation, where we can process challenges and move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life—one step and one day at a time.

I have also worked with adults in inpatient rehabilitation for substance use treatment, facilitated care for court-ordered clients, and supported outpatient clients within the LGBTQ+ community. I draw from multiple evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and individualized treatment planning. My focus is to meet clients where they are, help them return to a baseline where they feel comfortable and capable, and empower them to navigate life’s challenges. I consider myself open-minded, compassionate, and deeply empathetic. My mantra is simple: I am here for you. My role is to walk alongside you, provide tools and support, and help you manage both daily stressors and long-standing challenges. Life can feel like a roller coaster—full of unexpected changes, emotions, and pressures—but with the right support, it’s possible to find balance, peace, and overall well-being.

At The Listening Room, we believe healing begins with being truly listened to. Together, we work toward meaningful change, healthier relationships, and lasting emotional well-being.

HI! My name is Mary Beth Ridderman. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida, and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Georgia. In addition to my state licensure, I have earned credentials as a National Certified Counselor, Certified Sand Tray Therapist. Registered Play Therapist Supervisor, Qualified LMHC Supervisor, Certified Clinical Military Counselor, Certified Life Coach, Board Certified Tele-mental Health Counselor, Certified Reconsolidation of Traumatic Memories Therapist, and a Social Investigator. I am proud to be a member of Chi Sigma Iota, an International Academic and Professional Counseling Honor Society. I have over twenty years' experience working with families as a child advocate with the court system and I currently provide social investigations and assist individuals involved in contentious divorce or visitation issues. Perhaps my most rewarding experience was seven years’ providing individual and group counseling in a shelter for survivors of domestic violence. My specialties are working with individuals who have symptoms of stress, depression, anxiety, anger, traumatic brain injury, or who are experiencing family issues. Clients find that I genuinely like people from all walks of life, I am non-judgmental, and I am an excellent listener. Research supports, and I believe, that a strong client-counselor relationship is the most important part of the counseling experience and creating that bond is my goal. I look forward to meeting you, getting to know you, and working with you to achieve your personal goals. Mary Beth
